In what could be another instance of violent racial attack on Indians in US, a 26-year-old youth who was working at a departmental store near California was shot at an unidentified assailant.
The family was informed about the incident on June 5 by some relatives.
On Sunday night, some miscreants barged into the store as customers, provoked Mubeen into an argument and fired at him indiscriminately. Doctors said that his condition continues to be critical.
Ahmed has been living in California since 2015, to pursue a Master's course.
Mujib Ahmed, the father of Mubeen, said that after receiving the call they are trying to get the U.S. visa to visit their son in the US.

He warned that North Korea could only face further global isolation and more economic difficulties. Seoul , Tokyo and Washington were analysing the launches for further information, officials said.
"He was immediately rushed to Eden Medical Centre in Castro Valley".
A young man from Telangana has been shot in the shop where he worked in California, according to media reports.
Mubeen's father said that they received a call from the hospital where he was being treated and that his condition was critical. He reportedly has already visited Irrigation minister T Harish Rao and other politicians, bureaucrats as well.
While the attack against Mubeen is being investigated and it's too early to deem it as a hate crime, there have been a number of hate-motivated crimes against Indians and Indian Americans in the United States, in the recent past. In March, engineer Srinivas Kuchibhotla was at a bar in Kansas in the USA when he was shot dead by a former Navy serviceman who yelled "get out of my country".
